System go through the same wayWhy don’t we take both the Quadcopter and the RC car into the same device ?Quadcopter CarQuadcopterRC carRun on the ground

Fly in the airObjectives To improve and apply both the information and theory that we have studied to make it works.

To study how to control the device by write a program into microcontroller.

To improve thinking, planning and prudence.

To create a Quadcopter that can run on the ground too.Scope of projectCreate a controller including receiver, transmitter, radio signal, microcontroller and commanding program.

Create a Quadcopter car that can run on the ground and in the air too.

We can control the Quadcopter car by transmitter that can fly stably in the air or can move as we required.

Expected resultLearn how to design and control a program in microcontroller

Learn how to design the structural components of Quadcopter car.

Learn how to make the Quadcopter car works and how to control Quadcopter car in the air.

Learn how to working in the group, solving the problem and time management.

The left direction will lift up and the right will roll down and it will go on the right direction. It quite like the roll but switch to the speed of motor of left and right blades should still stable but increase speed of motor of the rear blade. The rear direction will lift up and the front will roll down and it will go on the front directionThe speed of motor of the front and rear blades will more over the speed of motor of the left and right blades. Then, it will spin around.Result of ExperimentDesign the structure by solidworksVery complex Every components have to be compatible for each components.Some components are not compatible for each components.Redesign our model to improve it better.print the structure by 3D printer The 3D printer can’t print the structural components that too large over 20 multiply 20 cm. Separate components to many parts before print it.
